HABITAT TYPES AND PLANT COMMUNITIES : 
Wright silktassel occurs as scattered individuals in many different
plant communities.  It rarely occurs as a dominant.  It is most abundant
in interior chaparral dominated by evergreen oaks (Quercus turbinella,
Q. grisea) and birchleaf mountain-mahogany (Cercocarpus betuloides) or
true mountain-mahogany (C.  montanus) and as an understory component of
pinyon-juniper woodlands [3,7,20].  Published classification schemes
